I have had a nagging pain in my side the last few days, and also my big incision started leaking. It had been closed up so this was a surprise. Saturday night I changed the dressing and saw pus! Not good. I poked it a bit and MORE pus. First thing Sunday I called Dr. Ellner. She told me to go to the ER for infection evaluation. So off we went. The doctor was concerned about MRSA, as I guess it has been showing up in town. So I got an IV - 900 mg of Clindamycin. Came back 8 hours later for another IV dose of Clindamycin. They cleaned up the incision and sent me home with Clidamycin oral and Augmentin oral. I slept better last night than I did the night before. Also ate sliced turkey and had no problems. YEAH! The first and second time I tried deli-sliced turkey I got sick - maybe it was bad? Today I feel better some. Took my dose of Clindamycin - no problem.
